'Rust' Movie Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Says Alec Baldwin Pointed Gun 'Against All Rules And Common Sense'
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — The armorer on the set of the ill-fated "Rust" movie is speaking out after a court filing by Alec Baldwin.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed in a fatal shooting last October. In his filing, Baldwin says Hutchins told him to "cock the gun."
On Saturday, "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed responded, saying she was never called to inspect a gun as was protocol.
She issued a statement, saying:
"Mr. Baldwin knew that he could never point a firearm at crew members under any circumstances and had a duty of safety to his fellow crew members. Yet he did point the gun at Halyna before the fatal incident against all rules and common sense."
She also says Baldwin had a duty to call her for inspection of the gun before any gun scene was conducted.
